Default New 20" "rear tires" = NO issues

I just bought NITTO NT555 265/35/20 and its a AWD Lexus again. My DUB setup that I bought from "DiamondHotRimz" route 46 NJ came in mounted on
F:255/35/20. R:275/30/20 low budget name brands

I felt the bullsht wobble, so after months I just put Nittos in the rear and 35's all around AND it's smooth as shT, no wobble. Just wanted to list my experience. Kinda weird. Goodluck

NO normal rubbing on the fronts, ONLY time I get some rubbing on the inside liner is when making a U-Turn or wheel cut 100% to side- it only rubs on the plastic liner. No issues what so ever on the front. 06 AWD 300 stock suspension 255/35/20 Front

I'm running 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear. Thinking of going 245/30/20 front and 285/25/20 rear on the next set. Anyone running that set up now?

that front tire size is nearly 4" bigger than the stock. hope its not going to screw up your center diff.

To be honest I haven't felt any problems and its been a year & a half already with these rims. Told myself I'll Prob keep the car till it DIES 100% - no other car that catches my eye right now except for my new lease just did 3weeks ago.


2013 BuickRegal GS-Turbo, its a rare car and what a job they did with this vehicle. 2year lease. #whynot
Stock 20" on Big Brembo Brakes
